Blog Weather |
 Weather is the
condition of a region of the Earth over a short
period of time, such as days or weeks. Climate on
the other hand is the prevailing weather conditions
(winds, temperature, air pressure, humidity, rain,
sunshine and cloudiness) of a region or the earth
over a long period of time i.e. decades, centuries
and longer periods of time.
Climate
can be influenced by
human
activity, the
Earth's orbit,
Solar activity,
Plate
Tectonics,
Government Actions
and of course the
Green House Effects. Many
skeptics
today don't believe the
scientist but the Earth is showing signs of change.

Today there are
individuals both public and private that are making
outlandish statements that climate change is a hoax
and should be ignored or countered. One can see the
changes occurring around them at their homes,
cities, states, nations and globally. Records are
rapidly being set in the number storms, earthquakes
, temperatures, fires, diseases floods. hunger,
dislocations and, crimes. Companies that ignore the
situation for financial gain are setting the stage
for corporate and financial disasters. Government
officials that are countering established solutions
and enabling anti climate change laws, policies and
programs while encourage fossil fuel development are
only furthering the rapid changes in the demise of
our planet and will be regretted by future
generations. It is urgent that nationally, locally
and internationally we take substantial actions,
corrections and programs to protect our planet!!! |

"Climate change is real. It is happening
right now, it is the most urgent threat facing our
entire species and we need to work collectively
together and stop procrastinating"
